Remind me who was responsible for debathification of the military in Iraq? Was it Bremmer, was it

[applegrove]

Rumsfeld, Cheney or Wolfowitz? ISIS is fomenting a sectarian war throughout the middle east and it germinated with the war in Iraq.

1. That dumbass Bremer actually did the deed

but it had to be approved by all his puppet masters.

It might have been the most spectacularly stupid thing this country has ever done, even surpassing the invasion of the only country in the region that didn't harbor terrorists.

2. You are correct, sir!

A spectacular blunder it was. Remember when ISIS seemed to appear suddenly out of nowhere and capture huge swaths of territory?

It was because those formerly Baath generals are the leaders the military commanders.

3. Don't forget this con man.

4. All of the above-but it was Bremer who orchestrated it

The previous person, Garner, wanted to use the Iraqi military for reconstruction.

5. L. Paul Bremer, originally of Kissinger and Associates

You do the math.

6. Here you go. Naomi Klein clearly outlines Bremer's role in causing the rise of rebellion.

And more.
